Okay, I guess it's time for a life post of sorts. The accompanying photo has no comparative value, just fyi.
So... yesterday I was forced, by the misunderstanding powers that be, to attend orientation at my school, which I have been attending part-time (practically full-time, to be honest) for the past year or so, as I'm "officially" going full-time this fall to complete my degree. And, so, as a result, I woke early and drove to school and walked across campus only to be surrounded by a hoard of bloodthirsty fresh-out-of-high-schoolers and their sleep-deprived, possessive parents. It undoubtedly goes without saying that I, on the brink of sophomore-ism, felt out of place among them.
Thankfully, I was able to register for all of my classes and managed to sneak out of the day's remaining activities thanks to an understanding student employee who agreed with me that it was ridiculous to attend an orientation session underlying rules and ideas I was already quite familiar with. Okay. I'll stop now. I promise.
Anyhow... I'm SO SO SO excited for fall. I think my friends and family are by this time sick of hearing about my plans and goals, but I can't stop gushing about everything. Earlier this year my close friend Emily and I, who were both previously home-schooled, were discussing how much we love the college atmosphere and environment while other classmates complain about their workloads and schedules. But I love school- I thrive in a learning environment and soak everything in like a sponge. I love the social activity and challenges, the studying requirements, the musical assignments, the emotional roller coasters involved in developing relationships and maintaining them.
Well, I'm off to go practice and eat dinner and attend Bible study and then come home and organize a ton of music programs I've accumulated over the years. I like going through them... some more recent ones bring back memories. Memories I'm looking forward to revisiting this fall.
